President Barack Obama just plain rude to Britain. Don't call us in future

Why couldn't President Obama have put on more of a show for his British guests? He looked like he simply couldn't be bothered.

But on this side of the Atlantic the whole business looked pretty demeaning. The morning papers and TV last night featured plenty of comment focused on the White House's very odd and, frankly, exceptionally rude treatment of a British PM. Squeezing in a meeting, denying him a full press conference with flags etc. The British press corps, left outside for an hour in the cold, can take it and their privations are of limited concern to the public.

Golly, you mean Obama isn’t Europe’s savior after all? Well, learn the hard way. What did they expect when a third-World socialist entered the White House?

Thank God we have that new ‘enlightened’ approach to international affairs. Otherwise, our allies might be distancing themselves from us.

The root cause of this problem is simple enough to explain: The UK is generally Pro-American while Zer0 is Anti-American.

Brits, Obama couldn’t care less about the AMERICAN people, so why would he be concerned about offending a long-time ally??

Obama gave the cold shoulder to PM Brown?

Maybe. Sounds to me like a journalist was forced to wait and got pissy about it...

The British press corps, left outside for an hour in the cold, can take it and their privations are of limited concern to the public.
But just you wait till the PM of Kenya arrives!

Hoo Boy - won't that be a party!

But ... but ... he was supposed to restore America’s image around the world! LOL!

Hey, Europe. That “swaggering” cowboy doesn’t look so arrogant anymore, compared to Mr. Hope ‘n Change now, does he?!

Pretty simple.

He knows past presidents gave a side by side Q&A.

He can’t speak for any extended time without a teleprompter.

Question answered.....

The Brits meet Obama’s bus. Now that he won, he can throw whole countries under. What a guy!

Correct.

If anything, Obama was probably taking notes on how to ruin a great nation by allowing millions of Muslims to overrun the place.

Well, didn’t at least half of the American public want Change? Well, they’re getting it - right between their moronic eyes. The big “O” strikes again. You guys should be so proud /s

I thought the Brits ran straw man polls and voted for bummer to rule the world???

Was it only my imagination....that the UK chattering class was somewhat...rude...for 8 years....to that dumb cowboy GWB?

I do feel deep appreciation and respect for the common “Tommies” who stood beside us in Iraq and Afghanistan. Salute, gentlemen, May we all overcome ignorance, arrogance and pure evil- from whatever quarter- in our lifetimes.

Only because the Brits have been our loyal allies and I believe are the only nation to have paid in full their WWII debts to this country do I think the people of the UK deserve better than this total lack of hospitality.
Frankly I am surprised the Brit PM even came after the great insult of sending back the bust of Churchill..Lord save us from this Oval Office Idiot!
So many of the Brits liked 0bama at first..guess they found out what those of us who stood against him already knew.
